apes. Because their more likely to let you pet them but that would be awkward to pet a elephant. So apes. Even though elephants and apes and possibly kill you so ya i would not own either and you could end up on Fatal Attractions so ya
Humans are classified as apes. They are one of seven extant species considered Great Apes. Our closest living relative among the Great Apes is the Chimpanzee, which shares 98% of the human genome (this means that 98% of human and Chimpanzee DNA is identical). The genus Pan (containing Chimpanzees and Bonobos) shares about 97% of its genome with the genus Homo, which includes modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens).
considering several aspects of these animals features, i have concluded that pigs are closer to human for these reasons:
-- A pig has 4 legs.
-- A whale has no legs but only fins.
-- A whale has a blowhole.
Human DNA is closest to bonobos. The next closest is chimpanzees. Orangutans and gorillas are more distantly related.
no.
Chimpanzees are genetically closer to humans than orangutans. DNA analysis shows that humans share about 98% of their DNA with chimpanzees, while orangutans share about 96%. This genetic similarity suggests a closer evolutionary relationship between humans and chimpanzees.
similar DNA in chimpanzees and humans
Although it is commonly known that chimpanzees are 99% human, the most updated studies show that they still have the closest DNA to humans of all the other animals, but are rather closer to 95% human.
That they share a common ancestor.
Humans are more closely related to apes. In 2012 scientists completed the genome of the bonobo, an African ape. When added to the genomes that have already been completed for orangutans, gorillas and chimpanzees we now have a complete DNA catalogue of the great apes. The studies show that humans are most closely related to bonobos and chimpanzees. The three are more closely related to each other than any is to gorillas.
Humans and chimpanzees share 94% of the same DNA. By comparing certain genes of chimpanzees to those of humans, scientists can tell the approximate number of generations since humans and chimpanzees shared a common ancestor. It is believed that the ancestors of humans and chimpanzees diverged between four and six million years ago. In other words, it is support for evolution and the fact that humans evolved from great apes.
Our DNA is about 98-99% similar to Chimps
comparing DNA sequences between humans and chimpanzees Also,The more similar the DNA of two species, the more recently they diverged from a common ancestor
Genetic evidence, specifically DNA analysis, has shown that chimpanzees share approximately 98% of their DNA with humans, making them our closest living relatives. Additionally, similarities in behavior, social structures, and anatomy between humans and chimpanzees further support this close evolutionary relationship.
This question doesn't make sense. Does the writer mean, "…between (some sort of primates/humans?) and chimpanzees"?
Because almost 98% of their DNA sequence is identical to ours !
Humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor, so their DNA is similar due to this evolutionary relationship. The similarities in DNA reflect the genetic inheritance passed down from their shared ancestor, with only small differences accumulated over time. These similarities show how closely related humans and chimpanzees are in the evolutionary tree.
